I’m sorry but this lady was so naive and stupid and it clearly shows. Why would you go move in with a man you don’t even know. I would’ve went with my family before anything.

I hate that this movie skips over so much context, such as the time frame between her husband getting incarcerated to her closing the bookstore. I also read that they actually had TWO businesses, so why couldn’t either of them sustain them for five years while husband was imprisoned? I doubt that any of the alleged conversations Musa had with the husband were real and why Laura would believed it. I didn’t understand why she was so comfortable just moving in with his wife and 16 kids!! She was allegedly only there temporarily until she got a job and place, however she was never shown trying to get a job. I know this is supposed to be based on a true story but a lot of it seems like a made for Hollywood movie.
